SWK 232 - Human Behavior and the Social Environment II (HBSE II)(4 credits)
HBSE II is the second human behavior course that focuses on interaction between an individual’s development and the functioning of groups, organizations and communities. The goal of this course is to acquire a knowledge base in the generalist social work perspective as it relates to individuals, groups, communities and organizations. This perspective gives social workers the ability to apply theories of self-development, identity and value diversity, and adhere to the profession’s commitment to social and economic justice. Students will be challenged to apply the generalist practice of social work to understanding the social processes within groups, communities, organizations and society. Students will develop sensitivity to individuals, groups, organizations and communities by examining social and economic injustices as well as human diversity and cultures which will be utilized in capstone courses. Students will be challenged to develop a framework for how people groups form and how a sense of belonging develops within groups, organizations, communities and society. Another important element of this course is to link faith and learning in the context of dealing with groups, communities and organizations.
Note: Transfer credits will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis. No academic credit will be granted for social work courses taken in programs which are not accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. No academic credit will be granted, in whole or in part, for life experience or work experience.
Prerequisites: PSY111, SWK231, SOC101, or permission of instructor.
